This is a client library for memcached (www.danga.com/memcached/), a high-performance distributed memory cache. MemCache is used to alleviate database load by caching oft-used values in network-accessable memory space, and is used behind several high-traffic dynamic web sites like LiveJournal, Slashdot, WikiPedia, and others.
